The couple entered Zhou Ying’s interspace. While she checked out the various places she usually checked, she paid special attention to the officials there this time.

She realized that quite a number of people had been impersonated; even King Kang had begun to do similar things.

She couldn’t help but sigh. “It seems that King Rui is the most ‘stupid’.”

However, no matter how much she lamented, she could not take action directly. Instead, she collected a list of names and especially focused on the two disguise artists.

Then, through her interspace, she handed it to the Emperor.

The next day, when the Emperor saw the name list, he felt his scalp go numb and almost fainted.

At the same time, the Emperor also realized that they couldn’t deal with this matter openly. Otherwise, the royal family would lose the people’s faith.

At the thought of this, a wave of fatigue washed over him.

He removed King Hui and King Kang from the list of heirs, as such unscrupulous behavior definitely shouldn’t inherit the throne.

Otherwise, the Yang family’s empire would be destroyed in his hands.

After pondering for a while, he changed his way of handling Lord Zhao. He made him stay in the capital to help Gu Chengrui promote greenhouses and sweet potatoes. The Emperor chose another trusted aide for Kaiyang Prefecture.

At the same time, he gave them a hidden mission, which was to find an opportunity in private to get rid of those spies openly and pull those who could be roped in.

Over the next three days, the Emperor continuously sent his people to various places and began to slowly pull out the nails his sons had embedded.

Gu Chengrui was also getting busy showing the local officials around the greenhouses. He also had his hands full selling the greenhouse vegetables to them.

He came to the realization that their supply wouldn’t be able to cope with demand, so he took some vegetables out of Zhou Ying’s interspace and supplied them to the palace. Of course, this purchase would no longer go through the account books.

The first month of the new year ended as the couple slogged through their work.

On the second day of February, King Rui personally brought Butler Feng and the official media to present his betrothal gift to Gu Wanning.

Gu Chengrui, waiting at home, stepped forward and cupped his fists to welcome them into the residence. After entering the house, he called for King Rui to sit down and said, “Your Highness, I am grateful that you are willing to personally come.”

King Rui glanced at him and replied, “I’m marrying my wife. Isn’t that what I should do?”

Gu Chengrui nodded. “I guess I’ll be your brother-in-law soon.”

“Yeah, but don’t expect me to call you big brother.”

“It’s fine. Just admitting it in your heart is enough.”

“Oh right, I heard from my cousin that you planted another kind of crop called red sweet potato. What’s the difference between it and the white sweet potatoes?”

“Ah, it was a crop bequeathed to me when I went to the Mother God Temple for prayers. It looks like a white potato, but it’s relatively small. The core is red and especially sweet. It’s a crop that needs more water, but it’s very delicious when roasted.”

King Rui nodded after hearing this. “Leave some seeds for me later. The white potatoes are too dry sometimes.”

“I’ll just give you the crops when they mature.”

“Alright, I don’t need too much. One acre of seedlings is enough.”

“Understood. I’ll hand it over to Uncle Feng.”

At this moment, Gu Wanning came in with a pot of tea and bowed. “Greetings, Your Highness, Brother Cousin.”

“No need to be so polite.” King Rui nodded.

He looked at Gu Wanning and realized she had rosier cheeks than when she was in the Yang family. Her skin was fair and glowing. It was obvious that she was living quite well here.

He asked, “Do you have any special requirements for the furnishings in your room?”

“No incense and no flowers,” Gu Wanning answered with a red face.

King Rui looked at her in surprise and knew she was being cautious. He then nodded and replied, “Got it.”

“Thank you, Your Highness. You guys continue chatting while I’ll go prepare lunch.” Yang Wanning politely greeted the matchmaker sitting beside her, then turned around and left..
